The Maschinic Process
COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
The Maschinic Process combines the concepts of bi-directional design with rapid prototyping & technologically driven comparative analysis. The resulting process is cyclical, object oriented, and flexible, while at the same time, capable of being highly customized and specific.

The Maschinic Process
“Quickly and continuously converting new product ideas into crude mock-ups and working models turns traditional perceptions of the innovation cycle inside out: instead of using the innovation process to come up with finished prototypes, the prototypes themselves drive the innovation process.”
Micheal Schrage Serious Play: How the Worlds Best Companies Simulate to Innovate, Harvard Business School Press, Boston 2000.

How do we advance both the act of building and design at the same time, while also opening up the methodology for the possibility of unforeseen or non-intuitive complexity?

The Rustizierer
The Rustizierer was the first project to formalize ongoing research work aimed at translating two dimensional images into three dimensional forms. The resulting software code was developed to translate two dimensional pixel data into three dimensional digital forms that could then be manufactured on the 3 axis computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling machine.

The resulting software code was developed to translate two dimensional pixel data into three dimensional digital forms that could then be manufactured on the 3 axis computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling machine.
The Rustizierer was developed from this initial research, to take part in a larger experimental contribution of the Chair of CAAD and the Department of Architecture to the exhibition “Gottfried Semper 1803 – 1879, Architecture and science”.

-Gottfried Semper - Zurich 1953
In “Die Vier Elemente der Baukunst”, Semper depicts four basic parts of the building; the plinth, the walls, the roof, and the hearth.
The rustication of stone is very important in the plinth, as it was used to create a sense of strength and boldness. Despite its rough appearance, the workmanship of these stones is very intentional and controlled. The different techniques of stone-working are balanced to produce an overall rusticated texture for the façade, yet each stone has different intensities of tool markings and different levels of coarseness.
Semper’s writings of this time include specific notes on the practical artistic working hard materials such as stone. In his writing he considers the individual elements as surface, such as a textile, rather than solid. This fact is most fitting as the rusticated stonework at the base is not structural, and acts specifically as a cladding; the stones having been placed in-situ, with the masonry joints, block spacing, and rustications carved into the façade after mounting.

-The ‘old’ flatness – Modernism and Standardization
Complexity, vs. cost vs. speed vs. efficiency
Handcraft = Complexity > ∞
Standardization = simplicity > ∞
Mass customization & CNC fabrication = the new handicraft

-A return to the narrative surface – The Telling of a Story
In parallel to the creation of topology with computers, a different, yet related, trend is reemerging, the return to the narrative surface. The use of building facades as symbol, depiction, or billboard, is occurring through the application of digital presentation technologies and modern material technologies.
-Media Facades
-Surface and Façade “Printing”
-Customization of the surroundings
-Historical symbol of wealth to have painted or sculpted surroundings

-Contemporary translation – Algorithmic Analysis and Resultant
-Using recursive algorithms we were able to create scales of dark and light while still only drawing a single continuous line.
-Scale of recursive-ness an issue for the optical effect
-Inversion of expected optical effect. (light / dark)

-Perception – 3 distances of optical vs. cerebral perception
> 10m: Cerebral recognition and processing of view
10-6m: Optic and cerebral processing of view
< 6m: Optical recognition of depth and detail for full 3d vision

The Rustizierer
-Translation – The Rustizierer is a multi-layered approach to technology and media in architecture. It translates physical into digital and back to a reinterpreted physical, it translates two dimensional data into three-dimensional form, historical technique into contemporary technology, and it is in itself a product of other disciplines of technology translated to an architectural context.
